    Hey everyone, Happy Nurses Week. I saw that you guys were really interested in my first nursing paycheck video, so I decided to film my biggest paycheck so far. In this video I’ll be showing you how your pay can be increased with overtime work.

    I'm an LVN here in California. I'm salaried at $105,000/year which is equivalent to $50.48/hr. That is as a health services director in assisted living. I was promoted to regional nurse (LVN) range is from $130,000-$160,000. They started me off at $145,000/yr.

      you forget to mention that men overall in Nursing always get paid much more than our female counterparts. i was making six figures as a new grad with some overtime working in the midwest. im also in california and started at 60hr with 1 year experience. i was making 43.78hr in the midwest fulltime, theres money in nursing you just gotta look. often many employers will hire a male over a female especially when theyre understaffed because they know men will come in to work more often than calling out. also nursing is always short from my experience because women take time off for their kids, and pregnancy etc.

      Yes do it! My pay nearly doubled after I became a licensed LPN. I was working as non-certified or registered medical Assistant and started at $14/hr to $23/hr in 2 years and I did get my LPN & licensed within the last year..

      This is so true. If I’m planning on going on vacation I just pick up overtime and it’s paid for. I do love that about nursing. But these jobs make you feel obligated to do overtime because they are short , that I don’t like.

    Chicagoland pays well, most LPNs with experience definitely can be offered $36-40+hr in assisted living or LTC/skilled. I’ve earned a lot more with 5yrs experience. Weekend rates depending on the company can be as high as $55hr. You just have to know how to negotiate and know your value. Thanks for sharing!

    Never claim zero. At least 1 because you take care of yourself and you’ll see more money and won’t owe. I claim 2-3 and didn’t owe anything still got money in my last field which was very high paying.

    • @rachela23
      @rachela23  Před 2 lety +4

      I claimed 0 because prior to working at this facility I was on unemployment due to the pandemic. I didn’t want to owe any money in taxes so I claimed 0 to offset that. It is a new year, so I should really change it

    • @nellj9495
      @nellj9495 Před rokem +3

      I would be very careful telling anyone to claim 1. This is heavily dependent on your income. I claim 0 AND have an additional $50 taken out for federal taxes each paycheck, and I still have owed on my taxes since the trump tax reform. Just do your own research for your own situation.

LVN/LPN & RN is where its at if you want to be catapult into true middle class. a Nursing license is the golden ticket to a comfortable life if you play your cards well. not to mention i got my entire nursing education for free, zero debt here.
